    A super nice place! Loved it!! Great vibe, super great coffee and they have some options for coffee nerds! One of the best places for studying and reading! The staff is great as well! Recommend and will be there again

    Decent coffee, nice service, but not among my favorite specialty coffee places (this is the 5th one we’ve tried) in Brussels. If you’re nearby, give it a shot, but don’t go out of your way just to try this one. There are better options. The place is rather small, but there is a dedicated area (about 3 places) for people with laptops. You may not use a laptop at the other tables.

    I love this place. The coffee is great, the cookies and healthy snacks also. Service is always with a smile, fast and efficient. Good atmosphere! Always coming back!

    Specialty-coffee shop with several single-origins for pour-over. When I visited, they had two roasts from Wide Awake (a roastery based in Brussels) and one from Manhattan (based in Amsterdam). I tried Wide Awake's "Super Freak", a thermally fermented catuai from Costa Rica, which was delicious: very sweet, lots of tropical fruit and a chocolatey aftertaste. My partner's chai latte was great as well. For food, there are several baked goods and sweets. Both the cinnamon bun and the banana bread were outstanding. The café is situated in a quiet street and has several tables on the sidewalk. Having a coffee there seems like the perfect way to start the weekend.

    Found this place on coffee trip app and you shouldn’t miss it! If you need to slow down in crowded city, this is a great place for a break, which makes you feel like you meditate. Tasty pastry, delicious coffee, dairy free milk and great service!

    Nice little cafe in a calmish street in the center. Coffee was good, but charging €4 for tea and getting half a glass (and I do mean half a glass) is a bit outrageous. It's good tea, but not worth €4.

    Loved this coffee shop. One of the best croissants I had in Brussels was here and that bonus to the lovely latte. The staff was also super friendly. We came back the next morning and wished we had discovered it earlier in our trip.

    Would strongly recommend this place! Very friendly staff, and excellent coffee! The coffee shop looks as if it jumped out of a New York street and ended up in Brussels

    10/1 experience. The barista was very friendly, calm, confident. She prepared a v60 pour over and an espresso. Even though she did not have the espresso beans “on tap”, she was able to follow the recipe and extract a great tasting smooth espresso with balanced body and some sweetness towards the end. The shop is located in a corner with big windows, limited seats, full view of the bar from outside and inside. The only downside is that they close at 5pm. I barely made it on time

    One of my favourite cute little spots for a hot drink. From coffee to chai and matcha everything is delicious. Amazing service everytime. The yummiest vegan and gluten-free brownie. As I work next door we have the opportunity to take away drinks in actual cups and return them which is appreciated!

    Lovely small coffee place but it was difficult for us to find a place to sit inside and it took us two tries, but it was definitely worth it. The coffee and cake was great. The staff was also nice to us but sitting inside wasn’t very comfortable. I recommend takeaway or if the weather is good, enjoy it at their terrace. 😊

    Cute little stop! Yummy coffee! Cozy and not fully packed (highly appreciated on a Sunday midday). The barista (with the coolest lilac hair) asked me how my day was going, prepared my takeaway coffee and shared a smile. Perfect combo for the perfect coffee stop!

    Super cozy cafe with great ambiance and staff. The oat milk lattes were amazing. Got lucky and visited when the chocolate cookies were just out of the oven, soooo good that I forgot to take a picture before stuffing it into my mouth.

    My partner and I were beyond satisfied here. We each had a batch brew, and it was one of the best cups of coffee I’ve ever had. Very impressed with Wide Awake’s beans. It also came with a refill. The barista explained to us that the new grinder is why the batch brew’s flavor profile is so clear. They were incredibly friendly and nice to talk to. The cafe itself is also cozy to sit and have a cup and chat.

    Delicious coffee. Friendly and fast service. A fairly small place however, so not the best place to stay a whole afternoon with friends. But perfect for a quick-ish pick me up, or to top up your caffeine needs! Would recommend.

  • 5/5 Zad S. 1 month ago on Google • 28 reviews New
    One of the best specialty coffee shops in Brussels. Good selection of coffee beans, unique brews, and friendly staff. We often drive out of our way to grab coffee from my little cup.

    We walked 20mins for good coffee and was not disappointed! Absolutely amazing coffee and great service too. Loved the sustainable cups and lids.

    Small and nice place. Good service and delicious coffee. Everything you need on a rainy Saturday morning. Thanks! ❤️

  • 5/5 Jeongmin Leanne L. 1 year ago on Google
    Must- go coffee shop if you're into speciality coffee! They do amazing pour over using beans from Wide Awake! Best in Brussels so far for me.

  • 4/5 Georgia K. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good flat white, super delicious cinnamon roll - just the place is tooooo small, just 4 tiny tables available inside & two bar seats.

  • 5/5 francesco l. 10 months ago on Google
    Best cappuccino in Bruxelles, and and very good brownies/cinnamom buns! Young and kind personnel, perfect for a sweet breakfast

  • 5/5 Evangelia S. 9 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Nobonita C. 3 months ago on Google • 13 reviews New
    Been here a couple of times and have to say, no other coffee shop in the city has matched up quality wise to the coffee served here. They have a laptop friendly bar with three seats on one side of the window. Tiny place but fairly busy during rush hours (also the windows help prevent the place from seeming claustrophobic). Amazing filter coffee, also loved the London fog latte. Very accommodating, English speaking and friendly staff.

  • 5/5 Eira C H. 4 months ago on Google
    A great little coffee please to have “around the corner”. Fresh small selection of baked goods and good coffees. Quite a lot of out door seating as well. Had a quick drink before work and happy I found this place

  • 5/5 Jason H. 8 months ago on Google
    A great speciality coffee shop selling beans, gear, great filter coffee, and small eats. I tried the Nutty Ball and it was good as well as the iced coffee. I purchased beans as well. Service was good and the atmosphere was nice.

  • 5/5 Hus T. 8 months ago on Google
    It was really nice and cozy even in this cloudy day. I'm usually too anxious to go alone to these "modern" places where the cool people go, but it really was very nice and I felt welcomed. I'm definitely coming back again someday :D.

  • 3/5 F. Z. 8 months ago on Google
    Good coffee. Insanely hot inside even when outside it’s like 25º The seats at the bar are pretty uncomfortable. Everything seemed lovely but I didn’t really want to stay there or go back.

  • 5/5 Zane V. 2 years ago on Google
    I discovered My Little Cup by accident and keep returning every time I am Brussels. One on best coffees, delicious home-made snacks and friendly people.

  • 1/5 XueYi D. 2 years ago on Google
    The coffee is good. Just please don’t by knocking the window to remind us to take the coffee ourselves. At the mean time, serve the coffee to the table just next to us. 😊.4 Euro a cup is quite an expensive price for this kind of service.

  • 5/5 Chris M. 2 years ago on Google
    Loved the cappuccino.. very friendly staff... spoke fluent English. The gentleman who served us coffee also explained to us a bit of background on the coffee we were served (the hand blend coffee) We felt very welcoming.. and ofcos very good coffee.

  • 5/5 Nicole A. 2 years ago on Google
    This place knows how to craft their coffee, well balanced and carefully done. I just wish they would have more food :)

  • 5/5 ryoko e. 2 years ago on Google
    Super cute, the person that served me spoke English, loved the matcha latte.

    One of the best cappuccino I ever had, cool latte art

  • 5/5 Alex H. 2 years ago on Google
    Great tasting coffee, always a warm welcome, one of my favorite places ever for a good cup. The entire team is really passionate about what they do and cares for their customers. I disagree with the few reviewers that complain about the price - it is totally fair for the quality you get, and that's across the board (drinks and food). Make sure you try the sweet and savory scones, they're amazing - the one with lime and chili simply blew my mind.

  • 5/5 Paula S. 2 years ago on Google
    Super sweet spot with great coffee, perfect scones and really nice staff. We really enjoyed our stay 😇

  • 4/5 Alex G. 1 year ago on Google
    A hipster coffee bar. Coffee varies between good and very good but never exceptional. Service if friendly is ridiculously slow, though the hipsters don’t seem to mind this. They offer an extensive range of buns and croissants but nothing salty ; all is sweet.

  • 3/5 Liz Fernandez (. 2 years ago on Google
    We grabbed 2 oat lattes and they were very good! Unfortunately they don’t have vegan options like bakery to take, but they told us they’re working on it. I guess I’ll be back soon and check 😉 the place is cozy just too small

  • 5/5 Ahmed N. 2 years ago on Google
    The coffee scene in Brussels is definitely starting to grow and these guys do serve one of the best coffees in the city. A little local coffee shop with the friendliest staff who all always make an effort on customer service and friendliness. Big fan of their cappuccinos and dirty chai lattes.

  • 5/5 Florian F. 2 years ago on Google
    Cute little cafe with tasty pastries and delicious coffee. They were super friendly and helpful, asked questions to provide a coffee that would fit my taste buds. Very happy with my experience.

  • 5/5 Dennis 1 year ago on Google
    Very fine coffee with some highly craved „nutrition balls“. I did not try them myself, but two customers in front of me asked both for these. I went out with a really good coffee and guess I will come back for these small tasty balls…

  • 5/5 Eirini P. 1 year ago on Google
    Very cute little hipster cafe. The brownie and savory scone were delicious.

  • 4/5 Ally 1 year ago on Google
    very friendly service and delicious pastry. coffee is a bit too strong.

  • 5/5 Nikos G. 1 year ago on Google
    Friendly service and nice coffee. Also the scones are really tasty, both savoury and sweet ones.

👍👍 Easily the best waffles I've had so far. There are 2 options, Liege or Brussels. I suggest you try both. The Brussels waffle has a crunchy crust and a nice soft and airy interior. The Liege waffle has a softer still crunchy crust and a denser interior. Highly suggest eating here!
